With all the buzz around Fox McCloud’s appearance in the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie, it seems rumors are now circulating that Star Fox is set to make its grand return to gaming soon. As part of industry pundit NatetheHate’s latest podcast, it’s claimed that the big summer game for…
Another Hollywood A-lister has joined The Super Mario Galaxy Movie cast, as Glen Powell has revealed he is the voice behind surprise Nintendo character Fox McCloud. Powell posted a fun video of himself on Instagram (via Variety), cosplaying the character and jumping along to Super Mario Bros. music. …
Alright, folks — I need to get this one out of the way right off the bat. The information below is not an official announcement. However, it does come courtesy of one of — if not the — most reliable leakers in the game right now, Nate the Hate. As…
One of my fondest gaming memories of the last couple of years was playing through Kena: Bridge of Spirits with my wife when it launched on PlayStation 5 back in the fall of 2021. It’s a gorgeous game that we both fell in love with, but I found myself often…
As a fan of old point-and-click adventure titles, it often feels as if designers have completely moved on from that interconnected puzzle box style of game making. There’s still Cyan Worlds making Myst-like adventures, not to mention remaking Myst a hundred times, but I can count the number of similar…
My first real foray into Monster Hunter was back in 2017 with Monster Hunter Stories. I had been gifted a copy of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate by a family member who wanted to get me hooked on the series, but I bounced off of it pretty quickly, despite my interest…
Referencing video games is kind of the Scott Pilgrim series’ MO at this point. See: All of Ramona’s evil exes exploding into coins once Scott lands the final blow on each of them in the movie. The 2010 video game based off the Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World movie took…
During the dark days of Nintendo’s history when the Wii U was the new, room temperature thing, Capcom was a strong supporter of Nintendo’s ill-fated tablet-based platform. In addition to an exclusive port of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, the company released things like Ducktales Remastered and Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles…
I’ll admit it: Resident Evil Requiem’s marketing had me worried. When Leon’s reveal showed him swinging a hatchet, roundhouse kicking enemies, and plunging a chainsaw into a zombie’s torso, it heavily clashed with the creeping horror tone that had been established until that point. The last time Capcom tried to…
Ubisoft’s Rayman has always been a victim of circumstance that succeeded against all odds. There’s no better example of this than the initial reaction of launching Sony’s PlayStation, a console renowned for bringing in the 3D polygon era of gaming, with Rayman, a 32-bit 2D platformer. Even amidst skepticism, Rayman…
Square Enix hasn’t wasted any time in pumping out remakes of their beloved RPGs over the last several years, and Dragon Quest is no stranger to this phenomenon with the recent release of Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake and 2024’s release of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. The…
Final Fantasy VII is one of those games I’ve never been able to completely shake since I first played it nearly three decades ago. While I didn’t play it right at launch (I was a N64 kid, after all), I did end up picking up the PC release a few…
It’s a little hard to believe that the Dynasty Warriors series will be turning 26 this year. Released as a North American PlayStation 2 launch title all the way back in 2000, Dynasty Warriors 2 (which received its number due to a PS1 fighter called Dynasty Warriors in the US)…
With the Nintendo Switch 2, we’re starting to see the gap between PC games and console games close considerably. I don’t mean this in terms of raw hardware power, as PC will always be the top of the pack there. What I mean is Nintendo launched a console with native…
Like a handful of current and former colleagues here at Nintendo Wire, I know exactly where I was the morning of June 13th, 2017. Packed into a hotel room turned office, we’re watching Nintendo’s digital Spotlight presentation, typing up news articles and getting excited for our favorites — I got…
